Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the informations.

Joe, what will be your TX system? Is there also a chance for a CW sked? Or QRSS-3, if the conds are poor? The best time will be during your local sunset, i assume.
I will be there! Stations from the UK or PA will have much better chances though.

Industry Canada has issued an experimental radio license to the Marconi Radio Club of Newfoundland (VO1MRC). Experimental station VX9MRC has been endorsed to conduct transmissions on 472-479 kHz for just two days — December 14 and 15 — to call attention to the potential new Amateur Radio band there and to the role ham radio plays in emergency communication.

“A special message from our mayor will be sent on CW on 478 kHz as a beacon transmission on these days,” said Joe Craig, VO1NA, a low-frequency enthusiast. “Those receiving the message are invited to forward it to their respective municipal representative.”
